Well, I think that the point BBC is making is that neither a facebook profile nor a hoax about one is real news.

Seriously, no news outlet ever considered this 'real' news. It's just being blown out of the proportion by the bored troll himself, who is actually proud that an obsurred blog buried on the NY Times website pointed out his lack of anything more constructive to do with his time.

Pretty much. I keep a fairly close eye on news reports here and have heard nothing about it whatsoever so it hasn't made it to TV, radio or the local rags. The guy who pointed me at this site claims to have read a newspaper article about it but I'm not in the habit of reading interstate newspapers so I can't confirm that.

Its kind of ironic to find this character using the handle "Tonay" though. I can't help but wonder if this cretin is the same Tonay who got chased out of Brawl Hall after sporting a pic of Buffy's "Spike" engaged in homosexual advances to another man in his signature there. Sure it fits; the Buffy references, the poor trolling efforts, the "I'm-so-far-up-myself-even-the-Jaws-of-Life-couldn't-extract-my-head-from-my-asshole" approach to his posts, the complete failure to address his detractors with any reasonable argument... it wouldn't take much to convince me the two accounts were one and the same.

Not that it matters. The guy is quite obviously a narcissistic wimp. Very likely the person who said he had nothing better to do recognised that Tonay's so called achievement would only appeal to likeminded gaymers... and they'd be right.

Hears what NPR have to say about ConsoleCity:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...04&ft=1&f=1004


And a blogster comments about this thread:

http://philiplewis.blogspot.com/2008...-facebook.html


Quote:
I had a quick look at the website and found this amazing story!

An opportunist, on reading of the death of Benazir Bhutto and the subsequent expected elevation to leadership of her son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, set up a Facebook account in his name.

The story of this 'prank' was detailed on a internet forum site, home to many video-gamers. The man known as 'Tonay' lists some of the letters of support he received of condolence for his mother, as well as lots of messages from "hot pakistani girls" (his words, not mine!)

The story escalates, as many national and international papers pick up the story, and 'Tonay' starts issuing statements littered with references to West Wing and Buffy, some of his favourite shows.

He's since been outed as a fraud and the account suspended, but the forum is an interesting read as people tell him to 'cause as much mayhem as you can before the world finds out!' and Tonay debates on whether to put a link to his mates MySpace band. It just goes to show, don't always believe what you read on the internet.

Bhutto's just done his first press conference and gives us a shout-out.



Newsweek:

http://www.newsweek.com/id/86901

Quote:
Bilawal made a statement pleading for his privacy to be respected once he returns to Oxford University later this week to resume his studies in history, which he began only last term, and he forestalled any embarrassing questions about a Facebook page under his name. "Several duplicate profiles exist now in my name," he said. British papers had reported that a profile under an assumed name was his actual one, and fraudsters have claimed credit for other Facebook pages in his name.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...4-2703,00.html

Quote:
"I have been distressed by the lengths journalists have gone to access comments about me on the social networking site, Facebook.

"As you will know by now, several duplicate profiles exist in my name, some carrying deliberately false information."

Ooh, Sri Lankan tv apparently said my comment out loud.


http://www.chempro.org/2008/01/fake-...o-zardari.html

Quote:
I can remember one or two sri lankan television channel also publish the comment “I am not a born leader. I am not a politician or a great thinker. I'm merely a student”

http://www.sajaforum.org/2008/01/pakistan-bilawa.html

Quote:
Now a new controversy surrounds this Facebook issue after one of Bilawal's roommates said that one of the profiles that has been circulated was not set up by Bilawal.

Some of the stories on major news organizations like London's Telegraph and Australia's ABC, that the NY Times blog linked to, have disappeared.

Here is a post by Tonay on Consolecity that says "On facebook, I am Bilawal, the man' Bhutto! I made an account pretending to be him.

http://yellowknifeorbust.blogspot.co...iends-who.html

Quote:
Unfortunately the virtual Zardari was a phony, a pseudo-profile set up by a prankster who goes by the name of Tonay. According to an online bulletin board, Tonay (or someone claiming responsibility for the profile) set up the account because no one else had, and he or she was eager to see how far this misinformation could get.

Indeed, it didn't take long for Tonay's Zardari to receive dozens of interview requests from some of the most reputable organizations out there (including National Public Radio), letters of condolence and even a few kind words from a "Special Officer" to a head of state:
"Hello. You don't know me of course. But I'm a great supporter of your great mother, and I serve as Special Officer to the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. Hopefully our acquaintance may foster a good working relationship for the future."
